Apartment Hunting.
Yep, it's that simple. Whereas most people would be perfectly content with a decent sized one-bedroom apartment for a young couple like ourselves, because of my music gear and neonfoxtongue's craft stuff, we require a decent sized two bedroom apartment, or at the least a 1+den. I'm a bit shocked at the prices in Toronto. I know I shouldn't be, but when we had a three bedroom townhouse in Ottawa for $1500+, seeing small two bedrooms go for $1400 is a bit disappointing. I guess it will cause us to be much more careful in how we accumulate material goods.
The second problem of apartment hunting of course is location. We'd love to live in the trendy areas of Roncesvalles, or Parkdale, or Queen W, where good coffee and good eats are steps away, but to get a two bedroom in those areas is damn near impossible. So we've spread our wings a little further afield and are testing out the junction. Going to see a place in the Junction later today, so we'll see how it goes.
I'm kind of excited about moving into a new place, and making it our own. Our flat in London never really felt like home, and my parent's basement, as nice and free as it is, is still my parent's basement.
So wish us luck, and hopefully a home for all my gear!
